As they play Crystal Palace on Sunday, Arsenal will have the chance to extend their five-point advantage atop the Premier League this weekend. Meanwhile, the team that is closest to the Gunners in the standings, Manchester City, will play this weekend in the FA Cup quarterfinal, a match not relevant to the EPL table.
Another team with a similar opportunity is Tottenham, who could overtake a dormant Manchester United team and go into third position with a win at Southampton. In addition, Nottingham Forest hopes to snap a protracted losing streak when it hosts Newcastle, a team that is now outside the top four and aiming to reclaim a spot in the Champions League.
With all that in mind, let’s take a closer look at a couple of spots I’m on for this weekend in the EPL.
